The six-week virtual program bring together participants from across Africa to engage deeply with the complex challenges of governing emerging technologies. The hackathon opened participants to regulatory models, AI ethics, data governance, and digital infrastructure. These conversations grounded the cohort in both global frameworks and African realities, laying the foundation for thoughtful and context-aware policy thinking. Attention is also given to shared policy challenge set in a near-future scenario. While hypothetical, the case reflected real and emerging regulatory dilemmas facing African policymakers today. With support from mentors, teams worked to develop policy responses that demonstrated both legal precision and a clear understanding of the technological, ethical, and governance questions at stake.
